Scars and Stripes, Inc. : Unfiltered

by Jared Eakin

Welcome to Scars and Stripes Inc: Unfiltered - The podcast where a veteran leads the conversation to speak truth, raw and real. We're cutting through the silence and stigma to talk openly about what happens after the uniform comes off. No scripts, no sugarcoating, just honest conversations about the realities of coming home, reintegrating into civilian life, and navigating a system that too often falls short. We tackle the hard stuff: the invisible wounds of war, the struggle to find purpose again, mental health, suicide, gaps in care, navigating benefits, and what it really means to be part of the veteran community today. If you’re looking for patriotic fluff or polished soundbites, this isn’t the place. If you want truth, connection, and a voice that reflects your experience, you’ve found your home. Whether you're a veteran, a loved one, or someone trying to understand, this is where we get real about the struggles and remind each other that we’re not alone. © 2026 Scars and Stripes Inc: Unfiltered.
